Hmm, this looks interesting, but I'm seriously low on time.
I'm going to take Fire types on Pokémon Green (Yes, the original), but I don't want to be added to the list yet!
My first update'll come with an idea of whether I'll be able to carry on or not, and I'll let you know whether to add me to the list or not then. :)
EDIT: I believe that I WILL do the challenge, solely for the fact that this Pokémon green is translated so poorly that it's hilarious, and I'll have fun reporting all the mishaps and things. If I finish this before the English Soul Silver is out, I'll also be using my poorly translated version of that for the next generation. So go ahead and add me to the list with Fire types. :)
I will be using my DS to play all of the games, except for R/S/E for which I will be using an emulator, as I'm too attached to my games to restart.
First update:
(Did you know that Green also has a border like R/B/Y in Pokémon Stadium? It makes my DS screen very pretty.)
Well, I started my journey off with a very long lecture by a man named Dr. Auchyder (Oak) Also known as Dr. PET (The Pokémon professer), as he told me somewhat confusingly the ropes of PET training, and also got me confused with his Grandson ("This is my Grandson, your good partner or your opponent, what is your name?"), and then finally I was ready to go!
Of course I started in my room, next to my Snes, I didn't bother to check the game, I probably wouldn't understand it anyway. I headed downstairs and out of the door, completely ignoring my mother as she ignored me. On my way up to the edge of town, out by the long grass, I was stopped by a voice, it was Auchyder's! ("No! Wait me! Bad PET is dangerous here. Follow!") After following his caveman-like cries I came to his laboratory, where his Grandson was also waiting. It seems he didn't forget why his grandson was here, but allowed me to chose first anyway. Looking at the Pokéballs on the table I noticed that they contained SHADO (Charmander), TORTO (Squirtle) and BUD (Bulbasaur). I, of course, chose SHADO, and aptly named it Shado, seems I can only name my PETs up to five letter names, so Shadow was out of the question.
After a brief battle with Green, which I won, I was off on the road again, collecting a 'Wound Cure' (Potion) from a strange man and fighting 'BOBO's (Pidgeys), I don't think I've laughed quite as hard as when a BOBO used 'Blow' (Gust) against my Shado, who happened to be using Scratch and, uh, 'Chirps' (...Growl?).
I got to Evergreen City (Viridian) without any problem though, but there's a man blocking the route out of here, there's no reason for it, he doesn't want his coffee, he just decided he didn't want anyone to go passed him. ("No! You don't go there! I say so!") So instead I went to kill time at the local Pokémart, or I suppose PETmart, but suddenly the store clerk recognised me from White Town (Pallet), and ordered me to take a parcel to Dr. Auchyder, and so I did, journeying back to White Town, hoping that the strange old man will have moved by the time I'm back at Evergreen.
Finally I got back to White Town, and back into Auchyder's lab. I handed him the Mystery Parcel and he thanked me, apparently it was some custom Monster ball or something. Green then turned up soon after, seems that Auchyder had something to give us, it turned out to be an Automated recording book! (Pokédex) With that done, it was time for Green to head off, I'm quite surprised, he quite happily said good bye to his grandfather and me ("Auchyder and Red, Bye-bye!") but not before telling me that he wasn't going to let his sister give me a town map! Then it was time for me to leave too, I quickly stole a glance at the e-mail on Auchyder's screen, but I couldn't understand a word of it! Then I left and headed towards Green's house, where his sister happily gave me a Town Map.
And that was where I saved, "Are you to report on the report card? Red recorded seriously on the report!"
What will happen next? Will our hero beat several blowing Bobos? And will Green start being meaner? And where the HELL did the name Auchyder come from anyway? Find out next time (or not) on Red's Green adventure!
